The Norwegian government has accused the Chinese-backed hacking group known as Salt Typhoon of breaking into several organizations in the country.
In a report published on Friday, the Norwegian Police Security Service said the hacking group, believed to be working for the Chinese government, targeted vulnerable network devices to conduct espionage.
Norway is the latest country to confirm a Salt Typhoon-related intrusion.
Salt Typhoon, which senior U.S. national security officials have described as an “epoch-defining threat,” has for years stealthily hacked into the networks of critical infrastructure organizations around the world, including telecom providers in Canada and the United States, where they allegedly intercepted the communications of senior politicians. This series of breaches put pressure on telcos to improve their security.
The report did not provide many details about the hacking campaign targeting the country. A spokesperson for Norway’s embassy in the U.S. did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
